transformed the relationships between 

the public and philanthropic sectors 

and led to measurable benefits in 

housing and community development 

for low- and moderate-income families.

awards highlight the power of collective 

impact that can be achieved through 

public-philanthropic partnerships 

between government entities and 

foundations.
